The Redeem Team: Rebondir ensemble

An amazing documentary that gives perspective not just on how great the USA basketball team was but also about the types of people it takes to be great.

Lebron and Kobe are the definition of being the best athletes of all time and the best people of all time.

These types of people don't come around often and we should feel blessed that we were privileged enough to be able to see their greatness.

To think this was only a part of all the great things they achieved in their lives puts it in perspective how many levels there is to this game that we call life.

Much respect for the gods and RIP to the GREAT Kobe Bryant!

Wow. Great lessons for building pride and respect. History lessons utilized to educate the team and viewers on the importance of both elements to becoming champions. Shout out to Coach K for his leadership in coaching the egos and the players. The importance of the China market to the NBA is highlighted especially with the ever valuable Kobe Bryant on the team. Last the humble Kobe applying himself for this team and national redemption. Just wow. Great documentary to teach Respect and Pride in the beautiful game of basketball from the American perspective. Team work and Olympic fans themselves.

I'm not going to pretend I know about all the history of all the NBA players so my perception might be off, but I enjoyed this documentary. It shows the intentions, personalities, and most of all humbleness of players when playing for something greater than themselves. In the NBA, many of these players are perceived to be best of the best, which results in development of inflated egos. To watch the journey of them temporarily putting it down for the benefit of others, fosters that belief that we as humans aren't always selfish.

There's a growing tumor of entitlement that been slowly festering in American culture. Watching the journey the team went through to overcome the difficulties is refreshing as well as inspiring.

Jon Weinbach (who was one of the producers of The Last Dance) showcases the journey of redemption for the U. S. Olympic Men's Basketball team and tells us why we refer to this team as one of the greatest ever. We get perspective from all the key folks involved, including coaches, announcers, and the players themselves. I stopped watching the NBA in 2006, and gave up playing the yearly EA Sports videogames too, eventually. But this piece is such a well-made throwback to something that took the Olympic games by storm and reinstates why Kobe Bryant is among the all-time greats in the game of basketball. To hear from the top guys (including Chris Paul, Jason Kidd, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and more) adds much-needed depth to the story, and gives everyone who loves the game plenty to cheer about.

The games themselves prove to be more about Kobe's workmanship than anything else. While the main ingredient here is missing (i.e. Sitdown interviews with Kobe), it still has enough for anyone who enjoyed the game in the 2000s and still harbors a liking to the GOATs of that particular era. Also, they've included some brilliant cutaways during the end credits.

7.5 Overall a good documentary although there have been numerous documentaries before. I just wish there was more players interviewed from the redeem team. Kobe was one of if not the main focus of the documentary as he should be. All respect and honor to the late KOBE. Great showing how USA BASKETBALL dominated for many years until not winning the GOLD and then to finding their way back to glory. I felt like it would been better if this was a mini series documentary like the one with JORDAN and the BULLS. What I learned is Kobe was different from the rest and TEAM USA is just unfair with the individuals talents they have.
